Noise when engaging drive

[TonySheff]

Hi
I have a 2004 2.5 Auto, and recently there has been a "grumbling" noise whenever I engage Drive, or Reverse. In Park, or Neutral the noise disappears.

I am going to take it to a garage later this week and get them to listen , but was wondering if anyone had come across this before - and is it likely to be the onset of an expensive problem?

Thanks
Tony

Automatic gearbox faults can be a royal PITA to diagnose, not to say expensive.

The advice I was given by a bloke who'd spent his entire life running an operation repairing them was "wait til it actually breaks, its cheaper in the long run..."....
